Great stay!

The place was very clean & the grounds where cleaned daily. Extremely convenient location with plenty of parking. The bathroom was huge and bed was comfortable! It was a great experience over all! And I didn't hear any outside noise from the market below.

This condo is modern and absolutely beautiful!!! It is very big! The living room could easily sleep three kids, if beds were available. Having the grocery store downstairs is such a convenience. The location is great!! This was our first time in St. John andit was perfect. There isn’t a view, but this condo is great!!!! I would highly recommend staying here!!

It is definitely a nice place to stay and very convenient. On the first floor is a grocery store, followed by a drug store on the second and Sam and Jack’s deli on the third floor where you are staying. It’s a great place for coffee and sandwiches. My only suggestion would be is to rent a car because you are about a ten minute walk from downtown. I will likely stay here again next time.

Marketplace was very nice. It was convenient, clean, easy self parking, and offered everything we needed. I would definitely stay again. The only downside was we could hear the people next to us and I’m sure they could hear us. But it wasn’t a big deal for me.

New property. Well maintained and clean. AC cranks! There are no windows so that was a little odd but I slept like baby since it was dark and quiet at night. Extremely convenient property with the market downstairs and Sam and Jack’s sandwich shop next door. 10 min walk to downtown.

Beat Expectations!

This was great, the literal only thing to complain about was the windows. Wish we could have kept the bedroom darker in the morning. That's it, only complaint. Room was huge, had a kitchenette with fridge and dishes. Dinning area, living room, and large bathroom. Not only would we recommend this place, we did to people in our group that rented a house. We loved our stay!

There were 4 pillows only 2 pillow shams, we needed more towels, and we didn't have the form left in our room, so we called it in and never got the towels. There is no concierge on site, so you don't have your rooms cleaned daily or towels replenished. The TV's had an issue with have multiple remotes. The hotel is really clean, great area, very modern and you can walk down to anything pretty much. We would stay again.

Room was clean, large and modern/sleek looking. Updated. The pillows, bed sheets, comforter were beyond AMAZINGLY soft. I actually looked at the brand so I can order them back at home. Really great location. Close to the little town. 3 minute drive at most. Grocery store below was so convenient since there is a kitchen area in room. Quiet area. I wish there were more plates/cups though. Seemed like we had to do dishes after each time we ate. I did not like the shower, I understand water pressure isn’t the best in St John but the shower heads barely put out any water. The shower was not fully enclosed, so it got really cold. I would definitely return though!! Great price for such a new place.

Liked: Cleanliness
All in all we had a good stay on St. John but, from booking, all the way to check-out, we never had contact with, or spoke to, a human being. Kind of weird. We were awakened at 2:00am to find a sizable roof leak in the kitchen/living room area. We immediately texted the emergency number provided but, didn't hear back until we texted them again the next day. It never did get totally fixed. Anyway, the location has everything you need right in the same building. You can walk to downtown Cruz Bay if you don't have a rental car but, it's not a flat, easy walk. Oh yeah, the room was super cold and we never did figure out how to adjust the thermostat?

Not sure if this property is hidden, but it truly is a gem in Cruz Bay. St. John can be a challenge to get around, but these suites are walking distance to the bars and restaurants of Cruz Bay, as well as the pier with plenty of taxis to get you to where you want to go on the island. The suites are also in a marketplace with a full service grocery store, excellent deli, coffee shop, drug store, hardware store, and more. We would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to experience staying in St. John and not wanting the resort type experience of the Westin and also don't want to rent a full house and have to rent a Jeep. The walk to Cruz Bay pier is about 10-15 minutes if you don't mind hills and narrow streets. The suites are extremely spacious, clean, and modern with a full kitchenette. We were not sure what to expect so we were so pleasantly surprised. Only downside was that on night one we were dealing with a lack of A/C, and only used the temp up and down buttons because of a note warning that touching any other buttons would reset the system and require a visit from maintenance. Since I was going to have to call anyway, I actually hit the power button and alas, we had A/C. The notes failed to mention that small detail. But overall we highly recommend looking into this property if you're considering a stay at one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Unacceptable!! Hair, stains and just plain rude!!

I had a very terrible stay!! I would NEVER stay here EVER again. There was hair everywhere and when I contacted the people about it they made it seems as if it was no big deal. They claimed that they cleaned for hours and that they had someone double check everything. There was a lot of hair on and in the bed, black stains on the sheets and pillows, hair in the bathroom sink, shower, toilet, and the most disturbing was found in the refrigerator. This place was very unsanitary. The ladies that I talked to Diane and Paula were not very helpful. Paula was very rude she supposedly came back to “clean”my room. She would not allow me to watch her change the sheets but closed the door in my face. I told her about the shower as well and she shut the door on me yet again as she “cleaned it.” After she “cleaned” there was still more hair everywhere and I was still very annoyed. I had to go back after her to wipe the hair out the the refrigerator. This was a terrible experience!! After a plane ride you are tired and just want a good nights sleep in a clean room especially one that you paid good money for. It’s one thing for a place to be unsanitary but for bad customer service as well it’s just a shame. This was unacceptable from all of them!!! I do not recommend this place at all. I DO NOT plan on coming back to this place EVER AGAIN!!
